SECOR Audits

SDS has assisted many of its clients in achieving a Small Employer Certificate of Recognition (SECOR), which is a program for employers with no more than 10 employees.

The SECOR program is a streamlined version of COR which takes into account the size of an employer. A SECOR is awarded for meeting established standards for a Health and Safety Management System.

Achieving and maintaining SECOR has significant benefits for employers:

Reduced injuries in the workplace

Financial incentives through WCB

More opportunities to bid on projects

Increased financial bottom line as proven in studies

To achieve a SECOR, the employer’s Health and Safety Management System must be reviewed through a certification audit. Once certification is achieved, maintenance audits must be performed every year and re-certification audits every three years. Audits are conducted by certified auditors using approved audit instruments that cover the basic elements of Health and Safety Management. To achieve a passing mark, the overall audit score must be 80% or greater and no less than 50% in any one element.

A SECOR is issued jointly by Partnerships in Injury Reduction (PIR) and by a certifying partner. SDS has certified external auditors for the following certifying partners:

A SECOR is valid for three years providing that all maintenance requirements are met. To maintain a SECOR, an employer is required to have a maintenance audit conducted within the first year after the SECOR was issued and again within the second year.
